During the evening hours of November 29th northeast Louisiana was impacted by an outbreak of thunderstorms and associated wind damage. This occurred as a potent storm system moved out of the Rockies and developed a strong area of low pressure across the Central Plains. This surface low caused a warm front to take shape and quickly lift northward across the forecast during the afternoon of the 29th. Warm and humid conditions pushed north, which led to unstable conditions over the region just ahead of the advancing strong cold front. The wind energy through the atmosphere was strong. The resulting wind shear (change in wind speed or direction with height) was strong and very favorable for rotating storms. As the clash of systems occurred, a mix of supercell thunderstorms developed, along with a broken line of thunderstorms.
